foodie fridays: spiced spaghetti squash crostini with chorizo & chickpeas

“Welcome to Foodie Fridays! Embark on a culinary journey with our Spiced Spaghetti Squash Crostini, featuring savory chorizo and hearty chickpeas. This delightful fusion promises a unique and satisfying twist that elevates your Friday dining experience.”

Spaghetti squash is a true example of God’s humor.

That, and a giraffe.

If you think about it for a second, the long neck with tiny ears, and black tongue make for a good chuckle. And while we are on the subject of funny looking animals, isn’t the komondor dog a freaking riot? Seriously, you know God lost a bet making the dog look like a Rastafarian rolled into a display of carpet samples.

Even though spaghetti squash doesn’t have weird looking extremities, this winter vegetable is quite humorous. I wonder if God got bored (or smoked some doja) one day while he was shopping in the heaven grocery store for some butternut squash. He might have declared: “if I saute or caramelize one more cube of squash, I am going to make it rain for 40 days”!!

And that’s how spaghetti squash came into being. God just wanted a squash that he could scrape the tender vegetables bits out easily. Okay, not really, but it makes for a great story. It does give you a better chance to explain how when you rake the inside of the squash, spaghetti like noodles appear.

Well, these spiced spaghetti squash crostini don’t require the inhalation of medical marijuana nor a trip to heaven to enjoy. These crostinis are easy to whip and have a ton of flavor. Simple for a weeknight dinner or an impromptu holiday party.

Make these crostinis and chuckle your way through the holidays.
